500			_aThe US shale revolution was made possible by the fracking process, which uses liquids and chemicals to release unconventional gas and oil deposits that are otherwise unexploitable. The breakthrough was achieved by the combination of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) with horizontal drilling. This development began less than ten years ago, driven by the high level of gas and oil prices. The boom in unconventional oil and gas – above all tight oil and shale gas in the United States, oil sands in Canada – is making North America self-sufficient in energy.
